He worked at Leslie Jones Architects from 1996 to 2001 where he qualified as an architect and ran retail development projects with a combined construction cost of £33M.

After taking a sabbatical to travel in 2007 and returning in 2009 to a much changed economic environment, Matt started carrying out smaller commissions, and in 2010  became a joint owner of Malby Architects, where he worked until 2016 when he founded Noades Architects.
